Where the Lights Shine Forever

 

It has been almost a year since I posted this poem.  But the message still stays the same.

Remembering 9/11 is a day that only saddens us.  As I writer I believe the way to heal this process is to write about it.  Somehow the lights will always shine in the city of New York from now and until eternity.  Even though tragedy happened, people that we love and have lost will never be forgotten.

Here’s a poem written in The Bop format.  I hope you will realize from this poem that life goes on and so do the lights of the greatest city on earth! Just look for it under the “Poems/Patriotic” tab.

 

The Burning Pumpkin

October is now here, allowing for cooler weather and Halloween costumes.  But for poets like me, the colors of autumn are inspirational.  It took me a while to write this poem.  It may be only a couple of stanzas, but this format, also known as the curtal sonnet made it a challenge to create a fall-like scenery.  May the words of this poem relax you and keep you warm while you sit by the fire, as it cracks and crinkles, with a short chilling story before you.  Just look for it under the “Poems/Halloween & Fall” tab.

 

 

Here on Earth: Looking For Life Elsewhere, But What About Our Problems?

 Earth

 

Here on earth, people spend their evenings looking at the stars. They wonder if they are alone in this vast universe of ours. Here on earth, people spend their days in anger and war. They desire to have peace and unity in their divided countries.  Somewhere on this planet, astronomers hunt for other earths, hoping to find a golden planet in the universe that has intelligent life like our civilization. Somewhere on an alien planet, they may be fighting among themselves, just like our earth or have developed ways to conquer the universe. So here on earth we must protect ourselves, in case of any invasion. Science fiction could be real someday and it won’t have the glory like the movies. Then on the other hand, in decades to come we may have the technology to defeat an alien’s agenda.

Another world, may want to help us and teach us their craft of space travel. They may show us how to work together in a harmonious race, without torture or death. Those alien beings, may tell us that our lives as living and breathing creatures is a gift, and as the only intelligent ones on our planet earth, we need to take care of our home, for we are the only ones who can destroy it, so the aliens say. Even in billions of years from now, when the sun dies, the aliens will help us find another planet for us to settle upon, when our precious earth, is swallowed up by the sun. Then just like colonizing Mars in the near future, the earth has woken up to the fact that it may just happen someday.

As a human race, we may be rare. The technology and the efforts of scientists, may be researching to help advance our society, because we may be the only ones in the universe. The fiction and the inspirations of fantasy world writers, may be only an impossible dream. Someday we may inhabit alien worlds, a vision we will make here on earth by seeding our DNA throughout every galaxy. First we must create a truce that will be found on every earth-like world that humans call home, that these planets, with a good amount of faith can be a peaceful way of nurturing and growing with the ever changes of the undiscovered cosmos.
